Landform: Drainage systems usually adjacent to alluvial flats. The creeks are often very steep-sided.
General Condition: The Impacts of Pigs and Donkeys on this vegetation type were low to moderate in
some cases. Weeds were absent. Fire impacts were variable and often only affected part of the riparian
zone. Shrub and ground cover were lower than might be expected due to the creek channels being bare or
having open water. Erosion was often quite active on the banks of these creeks, which were often sheer.
Species of Conservation Significance: No species of conservation significance were encountered for this
vegetation type.
